"Good lord just kill me." I moaned in bed laying next to my five year old daughter Samanta. We were on the mend from having the flu. It was tough for us having gotten out of the hospital only a day ago.

"Madam you know I can not do that for you. I will take care of you and the piccola principesssa." Marco said and handed us our medicine and some orange juice.

As we were about to take our medicine when the door bell rang. I arched an eyebrow at the sound and nodded at Marco to go and see who it was.

A few minutes later I hear Marco and who ever was at the door.

"Nypd we are looking for Luciana Battaglia." Said a deep male voice.

"Madam Battaglia is upstairs resting. If you would like I will bring you to her. Please wear this for she and her daughter are on the tail end of the flu." Marco said and I could only assume that he handed them some face masks.

Soon I could hear the foot steps of the three of them walking up my home stairs. The door opened and there standing before me was a tall black man with really short hair and a Hispanic man with wavy lucious hair.

"I'm Detective Amaro and this is Detective Tutuola and we wanted to ask you a few questions." Said the now introduced Detective Amaro.

"Go right ahead Detective Amaro. Ask away." I told him and coughed into a tissue.

"Where were you last Thursday night." Asked Tutuola.

"In the hospital. My daughter and I have the flu and it is hard to shake off." I explained while pointed my head towards the sleeping lump next to me.

"Do you know a Jessica Lincoln?" asked Amaro.

"Not by name but do you have a picture?" I ask and checked on my little girl.

Amaro handed me a picture of a young woman who I saw from a comic-con. She was mad at me when I wouldn't give her tape to my agency that employs me. It is against company policy for us the actors to hand over audition tapes to them.

"Yeah she was at a panel a while back for comic-con. She wants to be a voice actor but we aren't aloud to take audition tapes from any one. I told her that if she recorded herself and sent it to the main office in Texas she maybe picked. She got angry and cursed at me, then she stormed out of the panel. What's wrong with her?" I asked and handed him the photo back.

"Well she was attacked by dogs and I can see that you have four dogs here. Are they trained to attack?" Tutuola asked while looking at one of the four dogs I owned.

"My dogs are trained to protect me and my daughter. Besides my dogs were being detained because we got back from Italy and they have to get checked over by the vet. The vet kept them all for a few days to make sure they didn't get anything." I explained and glared at them.

"We are going to need to take the documents pertaining to your dogs and your dogs." Amaro told me.

"I will give you the papers but you can't take all four at once. They are not only my family but they protect my daughter." I wasn't going to let them take my boys from me and leave my baby unprotected.

"We can get a court order." Tutuola stated.

"I don't see why that would be needed. Take Crowley and Castiel now and in two days take Sam and Dean. I am not saying you can't do your investigation just don't leave my daughter unprotected." I growled at them both and watched as Sam my chocolate lab came up to the bed and looked at me.

The detectives looked at each other and nodded. I smiled wearily at them and started to slowly get up from my bed.

"Crowley! Castiel! Come boys polizia are here to take you on a trip." I said loudly while coughing. I heard the click clack of paws on my hard wood floors. A Rottweiler and a Leonberger stood in front of the police.

"Tutuola. Amaro, meet Crowley and Castiel." I introduced them to my dog the fort being Crowley and Cas being the leonberger.

"Jesus lady don't you believe in small dogs?" Tutuola stared at my big boys.

"Nope. Big dogs mean big teeth. Besides if you saw my little girl with these two would you approach with malice intent?" I asked like a smartass.

Amaro gave a 'well she has a point' nod and went looking for some leashes. Marco had both of the dogs leashes and a large bag of food.

"You bring my boys back to me Detectives. They are my babies just like my daughter and I would go to bat for them. Treat them with respect." I stated and watched as they took two of my boys away.

*Precinct SVU*

"So she only gave you two of the dogs?" Asked Rollins.

"Yeah but she has no problem giving us the other two after the first two are done with their tests." Tutuola answered.

"She is hiding something." Carisi said while looking at the board evidence.

"She was addiment that we leave the other two to protect her daughter. An I gotta say I believe her. Single mom, big house and from the look of it a lot of money. I would use any means to protect my kids." Amaro states while on the phone with the tecs who have the dogs.

"For now Carisi, Rollins go back to the house and make sure she doesn't do anything to the other two dogs. Fin go back to the victim and see if she can id the two dogs we have." Olivia commanded and went back into her office.

*Two days later*

"So the first two dogs are not the ones that hurt Jessica. Now it's time for the other two." Amaro stated while rubbing Crowley's head.

"I still don't see why you agreed to only taking two out of the four dogs." Barba stated while looking at the bulletin board.

"She is a single mother, really good looking, in a large house and it was obvious that she has money. I don't blame her for have any means of protection she can use." Carisi stated while rubbing Castiel's belly.

"Well thank you detective for the compliment." I told them and they all jumped a bit at the sight of me, my two dogs and my bambino.

"Ms. Battaglia what are you doing here?" Amaro asked letting Crowley go.

"I told you Detective Amaro, in two days I'll bring the other two for a trade." I told them as I handed the leashes over to the cheeky detective that complimented me.

"Mama he is tall." Samanta said and pointed to the cheeky detective.

My little Samanta, the apple of my eye had no filter in her mouth. Almost just like her mother. There she stood all four foot of sassy power, long curly black hair and bright blue eyes. Her skin was a nice golden olive color just like mine. She was almost a carbon copy of me except for the eyes. I had one blue eye and the other was green.

"Yes he is bambino but it's rude to point so why don't you introduce yourself." I told her and took a little gander at the bulletinboard. I saw the bite marks and noticed something but was going to wait a minute.

"Hi I'm Samanta Battagllia what's your name?" She asked the tall man.

"I'm Sonny Carisi it's a pleasure to meet ya little lady." Carisi said and shook her hand.

"As adorable as this is I can tell you now that my dogs didn't do this." I said with a smug look on my face.

"Pray tell how do you know this?" Asked a green eyed man who looked like he was used to being in charge.

"The dog that attacked her has a chipped tooth. See here on the picture, there is a left canine tooth but the right one is damaged." I explained while pointing to the bite mark photo.

They all stared at me and at the photo. They then looked at the dogs and noticed that all four of the dogs had all of their teeth intact. I smirked at them and waited to see what they were going to do next.

"Can you let us still do a few tests on the other two dogs?" Asked the other female detective.

"Go ahead. I brought more dog food for them so you can take it from here." I offered and walked to Crowley and Castiel and attached their leashes to their collars.

I smiled sweetly at them and gently grabbed my little girls hand and the leashes of the first two dogs and walked them out of SVU's headquarters.
